Russia readies for Kazakhstan’s product import ban

摘要

Moscow-Russian companies are preparing to reorient their fuel supplies away from Kazakh- stan, Russia’s energy ministry said Tuesday, as the former Soviet republic plans to launch a 45-day “conventional ban” on Russian oil products this week. Russian suppliers have already started revising the terms and volumes of their own supplies that are part of railway deliveries for March-April 2015, a ministry spokes- woman said.
